[HEXUS]

It's a hugely popular genre, but which online shooter stands out the most?

Tribes 2, nothing has ever satisfied me more than getting a mid air spin-fuser shot while your flying through the air with a jack pack. Great team play mechanics which catered to all styles of play and all levels of skill.

Old school COD was also good, can't remember which one it was, one with Omaha beach and that map with the trenches in the forest, headshots galore!

Personally I don't like multiplayer FPS games, the last and only one I played was COD 4 and I was bored stupid after 30 minutes.

I prefer co-operative games where you can play the normal game missions with friends.

Maps and Arenas just don't offer any diversity in my mind.

Quake... Unreal Tournament... Call of Duty: World at War... each the clearly dominant representative from their respective era... hard to call a best. No need to call a best.

Unreal Tournament closely followed by Quake 3. Hours of enjoyment there

For me it's the pre-internet gaming days of Golden Eye or Perfect Dark. When you could have like you and 3 mates up against a team of about 12 bots was quite new and fun I remember. So many hours spent with friends actually face-to-face playing those games I think makes the memories fonder, though i've never properly got into online gaming...

Unreal Tournament 99

Killing Floor

I'd go for Quake 3. As for the best online FPS games I played, I'd also pick Titanfall and JK3 (siege game mode <3). These are the only 3 games of this genre, that got me playing them for months.

One of my favorites was a variation on Quake 3 called Star Trek Voyager Elite Force. That's the FPS I played the most about 15 years ago, closely followed by Unreal Tournament and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The likes of COD and MOH were great of course, but too much sneaky sniping for my liking. I prefer to be out in the open and crack on with it! Of todays FPS games, TitanFall is superb.

Wolfenstein 3D - Why, because what we know today started there.... And it was Free

[Torashin]

Bad company 2 was good. I loved Crysis but I always got battered online so didn't try that much.

Borderlands 2. I'm starting it over and over again since 2012. I simply can't quit playing

[Plasmastorm]

Lan/internet play:
Original Unreal tournament, simple endless fun and limitless mods.

Multiplayer with friends on a console:
Golden eye 64

Unreal Tournament 99, no competition. COD4 for the, well how do I put it, modern military FPS. Tribes looked interesting as a return to the old high speed arena style shooter only on much bigger maps but I never really got round to giving it a go.

Timesplitters 2. Fun, furious, fabulous.
